art:cast special | Black Cadmium

There's something about Mike and Joginda's music that catches the attention right away – their flow's probably stronger and faster than any river issues into the sea and there are quite some rivers in their hometown Rotterdam. Joginda and Mike, better known under their artist moniker Black Cadmium, have been involved in the electronic music for years – decades to be precise - in the one or the other way, but it took the both until 2019 to finally get things going for them and craft their forces. From then on the duo's way has known – at least in the eyes of the public – only one direction: up! Releases on Ovum, Naive, Vault Wax or and most recently their Inertia EP on Transient Nature are not only an expression of their success but also show their musical diversity or simply underline the duo's knowledge and understanding of electronic music's origins and roots, something the two find essential in order to grasp the big(ger) picture. Shortly after the release of the beforementioned EP on Transient Nature, Black Cadmium gave Torture the Artist some insights into their minds, lives, (studio) approaches, places to hang out in Rotterdam and how everything culminated into being who they are, what they do and how they deal with matters that concern Black Cadmium. Additionally Mike and Joginda compiled the latest edition of the art:cast special series – certainly as deep and diverse as one would expect and a soundtrack for any state of mind or season.

Swedish label When Disco Goes Wrong, curated by local heroes Mindbender and Högt I Tak (SXDNS179), features seasoned DJ and producer Pawel Kobak for its 13th release. No remixes this time, only originals– and extremely well-produced originals, we’d say. It was a tough mission to choose one to premiere/review. In his “BuzzBuzz” EP, Pawel showcases his ability to bring together his (many) influences, delivering an interesting concoction of soundscapes. Deep, Progressive, and Classic House elements combined with shards of Trance and Techno, that’s what we found when were getting familiar with the EP.

The chosen one, “Deep Sea Creatures”, despite its aquatic-inspired title, enchants with an enticing cosmic atmosphere. Presenting a restless minimalistic synth lead, the theme reaches its zenith when the gorgeous Bizarre-Inc-meets-Marshall-Jefferson-inspired piano line takes the stage, providing an “oh yes, right there, this is it!” moment.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://whendiscogoeswrong.bandcamp.com/

,,Tante Kante (aus Wiesbaden, Germany) kennt man als DJ, aber auch als Autorin und Bloggerin. Elektronische Musik begleitet sie seit ihrer Jugend - mit den Jahren zog sie sich aber mehr und mehr aus der Szene zurück. Als ihre Töchter etwas größer wurden, fand sie zurück zu ihren Wurzeln und startete 2020 mit dem DJing. Ihre Liebe (für klare Beats) ist ein wesentlicher Teil ihrer Musik.''

,,Als Mutter, Lehrerin, Bloggerin und DJ bin ich vor allem Vorbild: Für meine Töchter, meine Schüler:innen, meine Leser:innen und die Menschen auf dem Dancefloor. Ich vereine so viele Widersprüche und ich stehe dafür, dass es normal sein muss, ambivalent zu sein und sich nicht dem zu beugen, was andere als "normal" empfinden. Viele Menschen erwarten von Müttern Selbstaufgabe - die Mutter als Mutter. That's it. In Clubs zu gehen und elektronische Musik aufzulegen ist nicht der Standard. Ich provoziere die Gesellschaft und erwarte dennoch Akzeptanz. Wir alle haben dieses eine Leben. Wir müssen anderen ihren Weg zugestehen, und das ganz unabhängig von Geschlecht und Rolle."

Hearing the news about Putin deciding to invade Ukraine left us shocked.

As peace and harmony are one of the essentials of music, we decided to gather our closest (and also not so close) circle of producers from all around, showing how weall believe in a world of peace.

Tyranny won’t destroy our european neighborhood!

All profits are being donated to CARE International for Ukraine, providing humanitarian help such as water and food supply, hygiene kits and psychosocial support.

Huge thanks to everyone involved!

Spécial Sónar : Franz Matthews invite Diego Montiel

Mexico City-born, Joze Arce aka Jocan Dekä (1985) is a DJ/Producer with more than 15 years of experience in the local underground scene, becoming one of the most versatile DJs of his generation. Since the beginning of his career, he learned how to break down the preconceptions and patterns used by conventional DJs, always trying to create mixes that can be differentiated from others on the stage.

He has established House & Techno roots, but his vast influences allow him to flirt with a wide range of genres such as Downtempo, Ambient, Electronica, Lo-Fi, and even Funk, Nu Disco, Afro, also reaching Bass Music, Footwork, Drum & Bass and ending up with Experimental music. His great skills for combining genres and expertise on how to mix them all together have defined his work, allowing him to play in most of the emblematic clubs within the underground electronic music scene throughout the country as well as in Mexico City’s signature club scene. 

2014 was a breakthrough year for a bright future; he was chosen to be a part of Boiler Room’s Ballantine’s Journeys #StayTrue in Mexico City, a global event hosted in the most representative cities regarding the world’s electronic scene. Also, during this year, he was awarded in the category of Best Techno DJ in the DJ World Music Conference, an event that takes place in the Mexican capital city.

In 2016, he became part of the SUNDANCE movement, a project that is leading the DJing world to the next level, both physical and spiritual, influenced by the #EcstaticDance movement. This idea originated in Hawaii & Portland, quickly expanding across the Globe, creating a new Yogi scene from the Dancing Music point of view.
